one was a bad Indian. He was killed q
year ago during. the summers trade. The
Piegans were drunk and that devil had
sober they discovered that he was among
the killed." The trader looked across
the river toward the fort for an instant,
and. added, inquiringly: "Quite . long

again spat ON the corpse.
Up In British America, knew an In.
dian trader called Liver Eating Johnson,
who derived his queer name from the
performance Of the cannibal act Of
roasting and eating theliver of an enemy
who had stolen his saddle horse, and
whom he pursued and killed. johnson
loaded two wagons with whiskey at Fort
Benton, q place In those days wholly given
over to the devil, and drove north. On
the upper Belly river he found suitable
place ON which to. build fort. He
buried his whiskey barrels and began to
build log fort around his cache. When
the fort was two logs high, the warriors
of the Blood clan Of the Blackfeet, led
by Q war chief named Bull Back Fat,
galloped to the unfinished fort to talk
with the traders. The braves dis
mounted and with rides in their hands,
crowded into the space inclosed by the
wall logs. They demanded that johnson
trade whiskey for buffalo robes. It
would have been almost certain death to
have traded, 80 Johnson solemnly swore
that he had no whiskey, that his wagons
had been loaded with blankets, dry
goods, provisions, and materials with
which to build the fort. The Indians
knew that he lied. They squatted on
the ground, wrapped their blankets
around them, then drawing the Joints Of
their ramrods out Of the butts Of their
Winchester rides, they screwed them to-
gether and drilled the ground to find the
whiskey barrels. Presently brave tel-
egraphed to Bull Back Fat that he had

The Indian traders Of the Southwest
seldom traded whiskey to their custom
ers. It was against the law Of the United
States, and though they cared nothing
for the law in general they obeyed this
particular law, because their personal
safety depended In great measure on
its observance. A sober Indian is
dangerous customer. A drunken Indian
is fiend. He hungers for blood as q
ravenous wolf. No man could trade
whiskey to Indians and live, provided
that he was not behind the bullet-proof
walls of fort. As said, the South
western Indian trader seldom, whether
within or without fort, traded whiskey.
Life on the Southwestern plains was
sufficiently exciting without introducing
the disturbing factor Of alcohol. These
men were brave and reckless almost be-
yond belief, but they shrsnk from the
bloody scenes which promptly followed
the uncorking of bottled hell.
In the North the traders were the most
cold-blooded, hard-hearted, remorseless
villains the sun has ever shone on. They
surpassed the Arab slave traders of
Africa in deliberate, premeditated wick.
edness. They shot, stabbed and poisoned
individual Indians as one would kill
wolves. They deliberately introduced
contagious diseases into tribes and swept
thousands of Indians into their graves.
They habitually traded whiskey for furs.
They impoverished Indian nations. They
destroyed the manhood Of the braves and
debauched the Indian women. Grim
spectres Of debauchsyy, murder and loath-
some disease tfooped around the trading
posts Of these men. They stood be-
hind their protective walls and smiled ct
scenes that would have made q devils
blood run cold with horror. Ihave seen
these men stand st unheaded whiskey

White hunters, men who
killed buffalo for their >N@slg
skins, poured into the re- .AT va
gion. These men were fresh
from the slaughter of the great Southern
herd of buffalo in Kansas and in the Pan
handle of Texas. The end of the Northern
Indian traders business was plainly
within sight. The curb was taken on
the business. A scramble began to secure
the skins Of the remaining buffalo and to
acquire horses and stock. So-called
whiskey flowed % water ut every trading
post. It was bartered for buffalo robes,
horses, rifles and handsome squaws.
The Indians were told to kill the buffalo
as rapidly as possible. Their camps
reeked with decayed meat and half-cured
skins. The braves staggered around the
trading posts in drunken masses. Fam
lily disputes, that had been smoth-
cred for generations, were settled
then. Daily rifles cracked, bow
strings twanged, and keen-edged
knives were sheathed sin quiver-
